- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: The global situation aside, what was done before the offer was made on 28 April?

Louise O'Reilly: I am sorry Mr. Breslin, but that is not making any sense to me. What clarity was there?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: It is a fairly plain question. The Minster made an offer on 28 April that any woman who wanted could have a free retest. Did anyone do anything to ensure there was additional capacity, however that was purchased, in advance of that offer being made? Was it the case that the offer was made and then the backlog started to build up? I am speaking about the period before the 28 April.

Louise O'Reilly: That has answered my question anyway. As we are sitting here today, does Mr. Breslin know where all of the smear tests are going? An issue was raised about the re-outsourcing of the outsourcing and the re-outsourcing of that.

Louise O'Reilly: Will Mr. McCallion share that documentation with the committee?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: I do not think there is anything in the documentation that this committee cannot have. It would be good if Mr. McCallion could share what exists with us. I thank Mr. McCallion. I have two more questions before we move on. In her statement, Ms O'Connor mentioned that a set of 94 actions have been developed arising from the recommendations of the Scally report. The examples of progress...

Louise O'Reilly: I am sorry, but Ms O'Connor stated that 54 of the actions are in train-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: There are 53 actions in train and 29 are completed. Does that leave 22 not done? I am not brilliant at mathematics.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: That is a total of 13. Where are we missing some of the actions?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: That is fine. That explains that.

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Mr. McCallion. My final question is on Ms O'Connor's statement. She said the HSE continues to support women and their families in the provision of access to their records and in ensuring women get their slides from the laboratories where they are required for legal review. How many of those are outstanding?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: Is there a timeline for those outstanding?

Louise O'Reilly: All of the women concerned know that is in place.

Louise O'Reilly: I call Deputy Donnelly.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: I am going to get everyone to stick as close as possible to the ten-minute time slot. That, therefore, will be the Deputy's last question.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: Yes, but the Deputy should keep it short.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: I am going to try to keep everyone to the ten-minute time slot. I fully respect that Deputies Donnelly and I have not started well on that score but we will get back on track with Deputy Kelly.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme Update: Discussion (13 Feb 2019)
Louise O'Reilly: I am in the Chair, Deputy, so we will see. I ask him to try to be brief because I am conscious we have to hear from Deputies Kelly, Senator Burke, Deputy Murphy O'Mahony and Durkan and Senator Swanick and that is before we move on to the non-committee members.
